I had two weeks in the office before WFH. April was really slow and I was wondering if I'd made a mistake. But it feels like it's picking back up and the practice group is pretty good about connecting once a week or so and seeing who's busy and who's not. Not ideal, but getting by.

Didn’t quite lateral, but moved in house. Had I predicted covid, there’s no way I would’ve made the move. Miss my old teams like hell.

Glad to see there are others to commiserate with on here.

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*
